Born in 1977 in Martigny, Switzerland
Lives and works there

A poacher artist, he bases his practice on appropriation strategies. Heir to Pop Art and a resident of Valais, he looks at the landscapes he lives in. The works of art in public spaces or Swiss museums and foundations, the objects surrounding them, or the architecture of the Valais are sources of inspiration for the artist, which he diverts in a logic of subversion and play.
